Wow, definitely a strong wedge tornado occuring

 

[warneagle]

Looks like the main line is about to catch up to it.

 

[TornadoFan]

Still an extremely strong signature.

Different angle

So is Sam saying the rating might be higher than what some people are thinking?

That's how I understood it.

Here's another aftermath video from Andover:

Houses to seem to be well built, I think during the mid part or latter part of the video I saw a pile of rubble?

Top ten all time footage perhaps

I think we can safely say that photo posted earlier of houses destroyed with the tornado in the distance was definitely not photoshopped. Photos like that are so surreal.

This video have everything that you need for a tornado to be considered “violent.” The upward motion, the motion in general, the horizontal vortices, some of which I’ve never seen before. Ever

I saw it as being black before I took a picture of it. I live 7 SE of the YMCA that was hit. I have worked out there before. I saw it in a destructive stage for a brief moment and took a picture of it in its decaying stage. To think I may have seen a violent EF4 tornado just blows my mind.

Yeah like I said before I don't think I've ever seen a clearer view of an inflow jet than in this video.

What’s eerie is how the debris cloud was black, then you’d see a little horizontal vortex for a split second then it’s gone

Unlike a ton of plains tornadoes where the intensity is genuinely unknown because it didn't hit much, this one was within city limits for the vast majority of its track, so it probably inflicted maximum intensity on structures somewhere; if we continue to have very few reports if any of significant injuries it'll be a pretty decent miracle. Definitely greater than EF2, vegetation damage approaches violent level somewhere in there I'd imagine.
